More Art Found at Goodwill

A beautiful French Impressionist painting was ditched at a Goodwill. Someone with a sharp eye recognized it and auctioned it for 40,000 bucks.

The AP said here:

This is a painting, supplied by Sotheby’s auction house, by Edouard Leon Cortes entitled ‘Marche aux fleurs’ or ‘Flower Market,’ sold for $40,600 at a Sotheby’s auction a few weeks ago. The old painting was dropped off at a rural Maryland Goodwill store and turned out to be a work by the French Impressionist. And now, thanks to the sharp eye of a store employee, the charitable organization is $40,600 richer.
